Filming Reshoot

A few of the clips shot so far have an error in them in the way that despite the setting and time period the music is set in, in numerous shots my Bike can be seen in the background. This doesn't fit in with the codes and conventions of the genre of my music video and as a result will have to be reshot. 

Auxillary Text Analysis 2 - Mumford and Sons - Sigh No More

  

This is the first studio album from the Folk Rock artists Mumford and Sons, this is the normal version of the artwork, although a special edition version is also available that contains a DVD and photo's of the production of the album. The codes and conventions of this artist and the genre are going to be very similar to that of the artist I have created. The song that I am making the video for is by this artist but is not from this album. The song that I am using is from the BBC radio one live lounge, and was originally completed and used by Old Crow Medicine Show.

The album cover shows a long shot of the four members of the band, stood in the front of a shop window. The shop looks as if its in a traditional English countryside Town. This is a typical place for the genre, due to many of the codes and conventions of the genre being very old, very traditional style clothing, locations, lifestyles etc. The instruments used in this genre are quite peaceful and the songs aren't likely to contain a heavy drum beat.

The colours used in the artwork are very plain and very basic, due to the image being of a small section of a street. Three of the four artists are wearing very stereotypical clothes to the genre of the music. The other is dressed in a long coat with a Fur Tricorn hat. All of the artists have their instruments in their hands or just next to them. This also adds to the conventions of the genre due to it pointingout the fact that the band play their own instruments which is very important in the Folk music genre.


Mumford and Sons belong to the two record labels Island Records and Gentlemen of the road. Island records is a subsidory label from the company Universal Media Group. The label doesn't have a very specific type of artist as they have signed a large variety of artists. The label has recently leaned slightly more towards the Rock and Pop Genre's with the artists they are currently signing. Gentleman of the road is a label started by Mumford and Sons and is currently still in the process of becoming fully up and running. The label has released a documentary about the artist with the same name. The Genre of Folk Rock/ Folk is still only generating a Niche audience


The Digipak I am creating will follow similar conventions to this music video. I am going to use the settings of the countryside to take images of untouched natural places with both the character from the video and the band members featuring. The colour scheme I will use will be very basic and plain to uphold the conventions. The font packages that I will use will also be similar to the Mumford and sons one. 

Auxillary Text Analysis 1 - Kanye West Graduation Digipak

This is the digipak from the 3rd Studio album from the hip hop artist Kanye West, this is the only version of the album released in the UK and contains the 15 track CD, artwork and a poster. The colour scheme and graphics used throughout the cover artwork are all from the same comtemporary artist/designer Takashi Murakami. The artwork uses the same features as in most of Murakami's work. The cartoonish characters appear friendly and happy when you first look at them but hold dark, twisted undertones. 

This cover doesn't contain any images of the artist, as the artist is represented by the cartoon bear which is known as 'Dropout Bear.' Dropout Bear is based on the artist who himself dropped out of college, although he dropped out of college to continue with his music career.

The album colour scheme features bright, but at the same time dullk colours, this is done by the artist because the brightness adds to the cheerful look from the first glance at the images. The dullness of the colours then sets in and it is noticable that the dark twisted side of the characters is clear.

The album belongs to the Hip hop genre, the codes and conventions followed by this cover are the same for most covers by this artist and in this genre. All of the covers by this artist contain similar characters and always the dropout bear which as mentioned, represents the artist. The connotations of the featured images are mixed, whilst some of them show fear, others show what is described by the artist as 'good life.'

The artist is signed to the institution Roc-A-Fella Records, Def Jam and Good Music. Roc-A-Fella records is a label owned and run by Shawn JayZ Carter. GOOD Music records 'Getting out our Dreams'  which is owned and run by Kanye West himself, he has signed a few of his friends to the label which is an independant record label.
